    Memories. I flew out of Belgium too. I don't remember if they checked my face, but I do know they never asked for my Covid document. 😱 I hope you show a lot of outdoor shots as you drive around the communities. If they let you visit and video tape the schools, that would be great too. Enjoy your stay! 😊😊😊
